Ferrari FXX Evoluzione – the ultimate track car?

Ferrari FXX Evoluzione

The latest Ferrari FXX incarnation is the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, an upgrade of the original Ferrari FXX, the company’s track car program for its cream of the crop buyers. Like the FXX, it is not homologated for road use thus cannot be registered.

The original FXX’s 6.2 litre V12 engine now puts out 860 horsepower at 9,500rpm, a solid 1,000rpm higher than the original engine. The F1 gearbox’s gear shifts now take only 60ms, a drop of 20ms, and naturally the gear ratios have been adjusted to match the engine’s new wider rev range.

The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione’s traction control system now has 9 settings including off. These were developed with the GES Racing Division engineers. This allows the car’s track behaviour to be changed according to the different positions on the track you are on, something Formula 1 drivers do.

A new front suspension design allows the Bridgestone custom made 19 inch tyres to last longer, as if money is a huge problem when are amongst the only 20 clients in the world who get to drive this car, including Michael Schumacher.

    Purpose wise, this should be one of the finest track cars we’ve seen, but Pagani too is launching a Zonda “Type-R”, also lightened, but maybe not as hard core as this.

    For me, i wouldn’t fancy a track car other than the 997 GT3 RS. I’ve not driven it before, but judging by my past experience in a 996GT3 a couple of years’ back, i think the new one should be ideal, given what i’ve read from the mags.

    For a supercar like the Enzo, i would prefer the Carrera GT… boy i’m sounding like a Porsche fan now..

    it’s plain scary, if you ask me.
    can’t imagine even walking next to one.
    haha.

    luckily it’s only for track use, tho.
    pretty scary if you’re being overtaken by one on the highway…

    u guys dream on…
    the maintenance will kill ppl like us… its not only about the spare parts etc… but u need a trailer to ferry this car and also trailer drivers of coz… becoz this car cannot drive on the road, so u need something to ferry it from one track to another… just like F1 cars flying in a cargo plane… drive it in Sepang today, drive it in Nurburing next week…haha…

    why give so immature comments? if i wanna say it’s ugly, then i can say so, not because i am not rich, i can’t. it is not one of the nicest looking supercars i’ve seen, not to mention being a ferrari too, which has the sexy, alluring f430. the japanese designer of this car is a disgrace, for perhaps he was kicked out from japanese car companies because his designs were so awful…….

    It’s like an F1 car with an enlarged body. Not going to win any beauty contest.
    But owning one is a symbol of extreme wealth. U know, just to make ppl jealous.
